What if state gov ordered all national guard equipment to be disassembled, cleaned, and maintained starting immediately and for the men to take their time.... can't deploy without equipment.

the only real certainty is change.

Irony is that there are more Trumpers in California than smaller red states... its a big state with lots of people and a minority of them is larger than the majority of smaller populated states.

Yet LA cops are currently abusing protesters.

Totally. Need to blasters and light sabers to complete the effect. Heck, I bet the cops aim is as bad a storm troopers..

If the feds removed all the immigrants from LA county, the entire county would grind to a halt. It would decimate California's economy.

Sadly, rights mean nothing when it comes to this admin. Good luck suing after they ruined your life just by detaining you. The damage can't be undone.

yes but even then, one can't possibly see all their follower posts. No matter what, it has to be curated in some way. i think giving us full control over how it's curated would be great. Curated by most current, most popular, key word, or a topic would be great.

It's open source, at best one could buy data and that's about it. I get why you care.

The other option is the non profit, using donations from users a lot like Wiki Leaks and other sites.

There must be advertising but done tastefully on the side, not in the feed and BS can ask people what type of advertising they want to see to make them feel included and heard.
I have an idea for a totally new social media experience.

I actually think there are those types over here.

No they don't because I don't see every post from every person I follow.

If we block everyone we disagree with, we won't engage. Engagement is about disagreeing.

i think the algorithm needs a lot of tweaking. It's too twitter like and focused on popularity so when I post something, even with pushing 10k followers, I get almost no engagement. Why should people like me keep posting with no engagement? That always happened on twitter too..

I didn't really define left and right to me. I do agree with what you are saying but I don't think the DNC is left. I think it's center that leans left when it must. i also agree with why, the right keeps going right so the DNC doesn't need to move left.

To be fair, that happens on all social media outlets. We need something to piss off the right and make them want to join in mass in order to "own" us in some way. That will cause massive growth and engagement.

We tend to engage more when we disagree with people vs when we agree. Human psychology.

This site needs more media attention, left and right. I agree, without the other side, it just becomes a bunch of lefties preaching to the choir. It also needs groups and other features.

Looks like they were delivering a kidnapped victim, that was the van backing up and once the van was off the street, they had no reason to be on the street either so they backed into the building. The protestors didn't force them in.

actually,they are pulling agents from all federal agencies, from IRS to CIA. They are also "deputizing" any citizen they want. It's a directive from Trump directly. 20k worth of agents. Then, he wants another 20k national guard to back them up so they won't need to call local police.

he knows they have absolutely no case against him. The feds will lose. he didn't want to be on the losing side. At least they are finally bringing him back even if it is to try to railroad him.

this is a joke, right? The man will only make it worse. They should demand the board name a new CEO and Musk divorce himself from the brand completely.

correct me if I am wrong, don't they all have staffers who are literally paid to do stuff like read the bill for them and give them a cliff notes version? I don't expect idiots elected by idiots to actually be able to read 1000 pages in one sitting but their staffers can.

Call him back and define "warrant." As they are using administrative warrants which is literally just the executive branch writing out that they want that person. It's not a judge's warrant and holds no real power
I bet your mayor meant any warrant and not just a judge's warrant.

they are trained to take orders, not think for themselves. The generals were all replaced with trumpers

also, imagine this tech in your toilet. When you pee or flush, it produces power.

I constantly have ideas and this one isn't even in my top 50 best that would make money. I lack the motivation to make any of them reality.

The reason they don't is that they can't wave and be seen. At least I assume so. But they could make one that is see through, just use clear plastics. I just think a clear elevator like device would be more regal.

Just a thought, world leaders always have to walk downstairs which can be hazardous. Why not build a glass elevator that pulls up and attaches the plane and the dignitary walks in and can see the crowd, wave, and then they travel down in full view and exit out away from the plane.

Totally agree. This is like every brand's nightmare.

If you are worried about the feds, there isn't anything you can really do. They will show up with overwhelming force if need be. I suggest only focusing on what you can control and let the rest go. That is best your heart and health.

The DOD has never passed an audit. They have transferred far more than Congress has allowed to the DOD...
